I work with adults living with the longer-term effects of trauma, particularly childhood trauma and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself, other people and the world around you. You may have learnt that you were too much, not enough, or responsible for keeping everyone else okay. Perhaps you're anxious, constantly on edge, struggling with self-worth or relationships, or finding that past experiences still feel very present. You may be so used to looking after everyone else that you've lost touch with what you need. You might understand where these patterns came from, but still find yourself repeating them.
EMDR therapy is my primary approach. I tend to go slowly at the beginning, spending time on preparation, resourcing and readiness before moving into trauma processing. We'll explore what helps you feel grounded, what happens when emotions get big, and how we can stay connected when things feel difficult.
I also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed and paced. No one is a burden for being who they are, and everyone deserves to take up space. If you'd like to explore whether we're a good fit, I invite you to get in touch.
